Box of Pansies for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on May 30, 2021May 21, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am sharing the sweet box of pansies I have made for my Mum’s birthday tomorrow. I used a Youtube video by Sally Stampers as my inspiration

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the box of pansies, you will need:

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”
Early Espresso card – 5” by ½” x 2 – scored at either end at ½”
Basic White 3 ½” by 3 ½”
Evening Evergreen card – ⅛” by 3” strips – about 10
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 2” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 4”
Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2^nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

A beautiful box of pansies for my Mum's birthday and for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

I added the In Good Taste dsp to the front and side of the box.

I stamped a section of pansies, 3 large and 14 small onto scrap Basic White card. The colour combinations I used were.

1^st generation Polished Pink outline, 2^nd generation Polished Pink solid image and Merry Merlot for the bearded part. 1^st generation Fresh Freesia outline, 2^nd generation Fresh Freesia solid image and Gorgeous Grape for the bearded part.

1^st generation Bermuda Bay outline, 2^nd generation Bermuda Bay solid image and Misty Moonlight for the bearded part.

The centres were stamped in Bumblebee ink. The flowers were then die cut using the Pansy Dies. The leaves were die cut from the Pansy Petals dsp.

Using liquid glue, I added the 3 large pansies to the back panel of the box making sure not to place them to high as I wanted the card to fit into a standard C6 envelope. I added some of the smaller flowers to the front panel using the same glue.

I added the ⅛” strips of Evening Evergreen card to the other small pansies and added them at different heights to the inside panels, snipping off the excess. I added the leaves with a dot of liquid glue. Taking care that the card when folded down will still fit within the envelope.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Polished Pink ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Floral Gallery dies and added to the front of the box with liquid glue.

I stamped a pink pansy onto the square panel of Basic White card and added it to the back of the back panel which will give us a place to write.

I added a trio of 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo blog hop and this month we have been given colours that I would never have put together. I have used the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to make my coloured Hydrangea card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the coloured hydrangea card, you will need:

Magenta Madness – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 4⅛” by ½”

I mounted the stamp onto the plate of the Stamparatus and placed the smaller Basic White panel on the platform.

www.crafty-rootes.com -I have made a coloured hydrangea card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

Using the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker I inked up the stem and leaves of the flower. I stamped it down onto the Basic White panel. I repeated this step to get a darker impression.

www.crafty-rootes.com -I have made a coloured hydrangea card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the flower head and again repeated the process to get a good impression. The infill stamp was inked up in Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the colour over the flower head. I used the same 2^nd generation Shaded Spruce ink to the leaves and stem using the infill stamp.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped layer was then glued to the Shaded Spruce panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com -I have made a coloured hydrangea card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I added the strip of Flirty Flamingo card to the Magenta Madness card front and added the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Although I would probably never have put these colours together, I actually really like this card.

I mounted both of the small leaves onto the same acrylic and randomly stamped them around the edge of the Daffodil Delight card front in Daffodil Delight ink.

The spray of flowers was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the wider panel of Basic White card. I cleaned the stamp and used a Post It Note to mask off the stem, flower and leaf to the right of the centre stem, inked up with the Early Espresso ink, removed the Post It Note and stamped to the left of the original image.

I used Blends Markers to colour in the flowers and leaves – Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green.

Using the lovely Scalloped Contour Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the coloured flower panel. This was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap strip of Basic White card. I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch to punch the sentiment out and punch a slightly larger label for a strip of Granny Apple Green.

The labels were glued together and a piece of White Bakers Twine was wrapped around and tied in a small bow. The label was added to the card on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Artistry Bloom Sequins to complete the card.

I hope you like the card.

Posted on May 8, 2021May 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where the theme is ‘simple stamping’. If you have hooped on from the lovely Gez Carpenter I am sure you loved her project. I usually find simple stamping a bit of a challenge, can’t resist using lots of layers and bling. I made s simply hand-penned card using the lovely new Hand-penned Petals stamp set and it was so easy to create a sweet but simple card with this set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the simply hand-penned card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2

I stamped the sweet image in Evening Evergreen ink onto one of the smaller Basic White panels.

A beautiful simply stamped floral image for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop. Makes a great birthday card.

Using the in-fill stamps I coloured the large flower with Polished Pink ink, the smaller flower with Pale Papaya ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink. I love these new colours.

Modified One Sheet Wonder

Posted on May 7, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing 2 sweet floral cards made using a modified one sheet wonder (I only used ½ a sheet of card stock) and the new Color & Contour stamp set. This set is so versatile and so easy to use. I also used the gorgeous new 2021 – 2023 in colors.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the modified one sheet wonder cards, you will need:

Basic White card 7¾” by 5½”
Scrap Basic White for the sentiments

Polished Pink card base
Soft Succulent 5⅝ by 4”
Basic White 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

Evening Evergreen card base
Polished Pink 5⅝” by 4”
Basic White 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I began by stamping the outline large flower in clusters of 3 down the centre of the large panel of Basic White. I used Evening Evergreen ink and 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation stamping. The flowers were in-filled using the solid stamp and Polished Pink ink, again using 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation stamping.
